Default Metal Heads and other Jak and Daxter stuff

Recently, I started replaying the "Jak and Daxter" games, and when I saw the many types of Metal Heads, I thought they'd be good in a D&D setting. So, I decided to stat them out. I have a lot of stuff to post, so until I give the "all clear to post" post, please don't.


Contents:
  1. Metal Head basic info
  2. Hora-Quan Stats: Lesser
  3. Hora-Quan Stats: Nobles
  4. Hora-Quan Stats: Tank-folk[Name in Progress]
  5. Gear, Weapons, etc.
So...

Species Basic Info: Hora-Quan (a.k.a. "Metal Heads")
Spoiler

Again, hold off on posting until I make my "You can post now" post.

I love metal heads. I thank you sir. But is this 3.x or 4e? If you need any help I'd be glad to render assistance.

No prob, I love the Jack and Daxter games, even the vanilla racing game. Well maybe not the racing game so much, but I enjoyed killing metal heads.

You might want to try using some formatting: bolding and spaces between paragraphs are always helpful.

It helps to use the monster format in the online SRD see here: www.d20srd.org. Using the standard stat block actually makes it easier to critique because all the necessary information is there.
Your blocks are missing some information. If you look under Monsters there is a section on Reading the Monster Entry. I found that information particularly helpful and you may too.

If a creature is an Outsider, Environment will be its Plane of Origin unless it has the Native Subtype.

Usually Racial Traits are listed in a separate Skills section not in the stat block. You can find a lot of good information there under Monsters (See Reading the Monster Entry)

Unfortunately, I don't have time to critique every monster right now but I'll get back to this.

There should be a template to accomplish what Debihuman was describing somewhere in THIS thread.

As for the question about names that you PMed to me, I have no clue.

Thank you for the tips. I'll do formatting after I've finished adding all of the individual stats. Also, some of the things you said I needed to add are already there. Again, thanks for your patience.

EDIT: Did it! And yes, I know that I'm missing things, just let me know and I'll add it when I get the chance.

Almost 1 year later, I finally come back to my old projects. Took me long enough... Oh well...

Purple is for casting spells of the Thread subtype (like Raise Thread).

Half a year after that, I return again, but this time, I'm getting serious.
